Youth and Elders Night, Stock Sale, and More!

Youth (grades 6-12) will join us in Room 223 at 11 AM as we dive into our Groove curriculum. Over the next four weeks, we'll be exploring 'The Walk' together. We're excited to have you join us! See you there!

It's Youth and Elders Night this Sunday, 4/14! Join us as we unite for a meaningful cause - Creative Connection: a vibrant community art project!

At 5:00 PM, we'll be wielding paintbrushes and unleashing our creativity onto canvases that will find their way to various UCC community partners and non-profit agencies across Fort Worth. It's a chance for us to leave a colorful mark on our beloved community!

Meet us under the porte cochere, dressed in attire that's ready to embrace the splatter of paint. Stay until 7:00 pm or for as long as you can! And because no creative endeavor is complete without sustenance, we'll be taking a break to enjoy dinner together outside. See you Sunday!

Our Stock Sale continues this Sunday. This important fundraiser helps support our upcoming Service-Learning Trips and will be held each Sunday from April 7th - 21st. For more details and to volunteer:

Mark your calendars! UCC's College Ministry will be holding a Senior Summit for all of our high school seniors that have chosen college as the next step on their journey. Senior Summit is an opportunity for Seniors to think more about who they want to be in college, how faith plays into their college experience, and is a chance to talk to current college students about what college has been like for them.

Here's generally what the afternoon will look like:

12:00 - 12:30 pm - Lunch

12:30 - 1:15 pm - DiscoverU: College and You

1:15 - 2:00 pm - College Student Panel Q&A

We're thrilled to introduce this new type of event at UCC and are eager to see you there! Questions? Reach out to Alison or Austin.

We're delighted to announce that registration is now open for the 2024 UCC Youth Service Learning Trips! This summer promises to be a time of meaningful service, personal growth, and unforgettable experiences. For more details and to get yourself registered:

Lake Brownwood Christian Retreat | July 8-13, 2024

Christian Youth Leadership Seminar (CYLS) is a week-long camp for Disciples of Christ high schoolers who have completed 9^th - 11^th grade. This incredible camp helps high school youth grow into leaders of the church by teaching and molding leadership skills, whether they are using them to plan a camp or taking an active role within the church.

Many of our UCC Youth have participated in this camp in previous years, and they come back feeling filled up and geared up to serve both inside and outside of the church. To learn more about this amazing opportunity and to register, click here or talk to Alison about what this camp is all about.
